Emerging from the heart of Malang’s thriving underground music scene, THE HVRT LIFE is set to make waves in the world of melodic hardcore. Formed in May 2025, the band was born from the creative vision of Endruw (vocals) and Innot, guitarist of Fasik and now the lead guitarist of this project. Together, they envisioned a band that could merge raw emotion with the dramatic, bittersweet essence of hardcore — music that not only hits hard, but also resonates deeply with the listener.
The lineup came together quickly. Veteran drummer Joshua — also known for his work with Malang’s legendary hardcore act Children Of Terror — brought a wealth of experience and relentless energy behind the kit. Yoga, former guitarist of Alice In Wonderland, joined as the band’s second guitarist, adding rich layers of harmony and texture to the band’s signature sound.
The name THE HVRT LIFE carries a personal story. The stylized spelling of “hurt” reflects Endruw’s belief that pain is a universal teacher. Every person encounters hardship in life, and through these struggles comes a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live. It is this philosophy that fuels the band’s music — transforming vulnerability into strength, and sorrow into anthems of resilience.
Sonically, THE HVRT LIFE draws on the wide spectrum of melodic hardcore influences, combining soaring melodies, emotionally charged lyrics, and unrelenting rhythms. Their sound is both aggressive and introspective — the perfect balance of raw intensity and heartfelt storytelling. With their debut material currently in development, the band is poised to deliver a powerful statement, not just to the Indonesian scene, but to melodic hardcore audiences worldwide.
